Community and the concept of coming together is in our DNA, which is why we chose the word Kokua to embody our mission as we head into our ninth year. It leads us to ask ourselves: How do we come together as a community to lift future generations? What role can I play to help out? And how might we create environments where more children fulfill their dreams—particularly those facing greater obstacles and seemingly fewer pathways to success? Kokua is about coming together as community and paving a pathway for youth for generations to come.
